Hello 1983

  Chapter 488 This guy can't be serious, right?

  After putting down the phone, Xie Hongri felt that his legs were a little weak, so he fell to the chair behind him.

  He suddenly felt: Since coming here, why is everything not going well?

   "Third brother, I said yesterday that we should reduce the amount of chemical fertilizers. This kind of seasonal material is not as easy to sell as steel."

  An Chunfeng kept complaining, he always felt something was wrong yesterday, and now he finally figured it out: fertilizers are seasonal!

  Your kid is also an afterthought!

  Xie Hongri glared at this after-the-fact Zhuge Liang, if you could analyze it in detail yesterday, would I be overwhelmed?

  But it is not a solution to pile up these fertilizers here.

  Now at noon, it is already a little civilized, if it gets wet, it will be a real disaster.

   There is no other way, you have to rent a warehouse, you have to hire a truck, and you have to hire people to load and unload the trucks. Xie Hongri feels a little bad: This is not another loss-making business, right?

  I was busy until dark, and only 200 tons of fertilizer were transported into the warehouse for 1,000 tons.

  The group of people are exhausted physically and mentally, and now they finally realize that the business here is not as easy as they heard.

  Facing a bite of dinner, everyone returned to the rented hotel listlessly. This day is eating and staying in the hotel every day, and the cost is not small.

  An Chunfeng fell on the bed, put his palms behind his head, and said to Mr. Xie:

   "Third brother, the more I think about it, the more something is wrong. Do you think Long Teng's Xiao Wu and his group set us up?"

  Xie Lao San thought for a while, then shook his head: "Probably not, you don't know about Xiao Wu, if he did it, he would have come to us to brag about it."

  An Chunfeng also nodded. It seems that this business can only be blamed on their own lack of consideration.

   In the next few days, Hongri Company tried their best to sell chemical fertilizers, and the price was reduced to 400 yuan per ton, but the sales volume was still very limited.

  Many people want to buy it, but it is useless to buy it. If you can’t ship it back, you will have to wait for half a year.

  With this amount of funds, what can you do wrong?

  So except for areas with relatively close distances, dozens of tons of fertilizers were bought, and the rest could no longer be sold.

  The news finally reached the ears of Xiaowu and the others. They called these brothers, and they were very happy for a while.

  Xiao Wu also ran to the door of Hongri Trading Company to brag about him, but almost got into a fight with Wang Qiang.

  Red Sun Trading Co., Ltd. was on the verge of waning when it first opened, while Longteng Company was thriving.

  After suspending the trading of fertilizers, commodities, steel and timber remain.

  Liu Qingshan also treated them equally, raising prices for the timber business with Sergey.

   A week after the price increase, Liu Qingshan finally saw that Comrade Sergey again.

  Sergey was still as clean and agile, but the arrogance on his face had subsided a lot.

  After the meeting, he also took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Liu Qingshan: "Liu, the timber transaction has been stable during this period, and we are very satisfied."

   "Especially after you raised the price of Medvic's steel, you didn't forget me. This proves that you are a trustworthy partner."

   "So, we can further cooperate in a broader field."

   Liu Qingshan has been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

  The open space outside their warehouse is almost filled with all kinds of wood. I don’t know, I thought they were a wood company.

   It’s okay to say now, if it’s the rainy season, Liu Qingshan is really worried about whether the wood will grow mushrooms.

  The main reason is that the capacity is tight, and the trains are busy transporting steel and fertilizer.

  Liu Qingshan intends to suspend the timber business, but he knows that Sergey may have a military background, and he still wants to have in-depth cooperation with him.

  Finally heard Sergey let go today, so he also breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled: "Comrade Sergey, I thought you were going to cut down all the forests in the Far East."

  Sergey obviously doesn’t usually joke around very much. He froze for a moment, then twitched the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and then opened his mouth to ask:

   "Liu, what goods do you need?"

   This tone was a bit loud, and Liu Qingshan almost blurted out: Get me a Su-27 first.

   You know, the Su-27 was officially in service last year, and it was definitely the most advanced fighter in the world at that time.

  But Liu Qingshan looked at Sergey's gray-blue eyes seriously, obviously not joking, he couldn't help but be serious.

  In Liu Qingshan's plan, the border trade on the Heihe side is divided into three steps: first of all, it is natural to start barter trade, and first earn enough funds.

  The other thing is to obtain some special resources or materials, for example, the CNC machine tools that are currently the most scarce in China.

   The third step is to dig out some special talents of the Soviet Union after the opponent's disintegration.

  The Soviet Union, the northern giant, collapsed. Of course, many countries benefited from it, and their mouths were full of oil, so Liu Qingshan didn't mind making a fortune.

   Seeing Sergey's determined expression in front of him, Liu Qingshan tentatively asked:

   "Comrade Sergey, I need a batch of machine tools, including relatively advanced CNC machine tools, can you do it?"

   Although the Soviet Union's CNC machine tools are not the most advanced in the world, they are a little worse than those of the island countries and the United States, but compared with domestic countries, they are still much ahead.

  At that time, some developed capitalist countries established an "Export Control Coordinating Committee" to specifically restrict the export of some high-tech equipment to the opposing camp.

   Huaxia is a member of the restricted camp.

  This organization is called Batumi because it is headquartered in Paris, and it is also called "Eight Tubes".

  For example, in the 1980s, the Tokyo Machine Tool incident that shocked the world occurred on the island country. Four nine-axis five-link CNC propeller milling machines were secretly exported to the Soviet Union.

  Since then, the noise of various submarines produced by the Soviet Union has become extremely low.

   Once upon a time, the U.S. Navy laughed and said: As long as the Soviet submarines go to sea, they will be so noisy that they can't sleep.

   Now it’s all right. The nuclear submarines of the two countries collided together in the Strait of Gibraltar, and the US side only discovered it.

   This angered their American father. After some investigation, the truth was found out. Since then, the control of Batumi has become stricter.

   It is simply impossible for Huaxia to import advanced CNC machine tools from other countries, so Liu Qingshan plans to try on Maozi.

  His plan is to wait a few years, take advantage of the chaos after the disintegration, and then get CNC machine tools.

   But now that Sergei dares to speak big words, Liu Qingshan dares to make demands.

   Sure enough, Sergey frowned and shook his head slightly: "Liu, I thought you would want a Su-27."

   Now it was Liu Qingshan's turn to be shocked: This guy can't be serious, right?

  I only heard Sergey continue to say: "However, we don't need supplies, and we don't need rubles. We want dollars."

  Liu Qingshan understood a bit: Are these guys planning to make a fortune and run away?

  Because of the turmoil in the Soviet Union, some people are going to pack up and leave.

  But the rubles in their hands are not easy to use in the West, so they need hard currency like US dollars.

   What Liu Qingshan couldn't figure out was: how many years are there before the disintegration, are these guys already so insane?

  It seems that disintegration is by no means accidental. If people change their minds, it is not far from changing the sky.

   For such a big event, Liu Qingshan has little arms and legs and can't control it at all.

  Even if he could manage it, he would be happy to watch it. When an old power collapses, a new power will naturally rise, and the next one to rise must be Huaxia.

  If you can contribute your own strength to accelerate the country's rise, then Liu Qingshan is absolutely obliged.

   It was just the US dollars that the other party needed. Liu Qingshan really didn’t have much on hand, so he brought 300,000 US dollars as a precaution.

   Now it seems that Sergey has such a big appetite, and this little money obviously cannot satisfy him.

   After pondering for a while, Liu Qingshan said: "Comrade Sergey, I need to raise funds, and it will take time."

  Sergey also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that the young man opposite him didn't have that much financial resources, so he shrugged his shoulders:

   "Liu, I can give you a week to complete this matter before the Amur River thaws."

   "Okay, I'll try my best."

  Liu Qingshan nodded, he understood that a large CNC machine tool only weighs one or two hundred tons.

   After disassembly, dozens of trucks are needed to transport it. Of course, walking on the ice is the fastest, most convenient and safest way.

  The next step is the price. Of course, Liu Qingshan doesn’t want to trade all in US dollars. His funds in the United States must not be adjusted now.

  Although he took the lead in this matter, he didn't want to pay for it. Whoever benefits should pay for it. This is only right and proper.

   For all kinds of CNC machine tools, Liu Qingshan is also a layman, including his subordinates, and there are no professionals in this field.

  He was thinking about how to ask the price, when he saw Sergey take out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was densely packed and filled with Russian words:

   "Liu, this is the CNC machine tool we can get and the price. I think you will need time to study it. How about continuing our meeting tomorrow?"

  Liu Qingshan really needed time, so he nodded in agreement and sent Sergey away.

   "Xiao Wu, say hello to Brother Yu and Lao San Ma, let's go to the barracks."

  Liu Qingshan did not dare to neglect, this kind of thing must be reported.

   And if such a secret cannot be reported to the local government, then the only choice is the army.

   "Qingshan, I'm going to condolences to the border guards again. This is not Army Day, nor is it Chinese New Year."

  Although Xiao Wu was muttering, he moved very quickly. He quickly called people and cars together, and went straight to the direction of the barracks.

   He may be reluctant to spend money on other things. If he wants to engage in the support of the army, as long as he doesn't sell him for money.

  It was already noon when we arrived at the barracks, just in time for the soldiers to line up in front of the cafeteria.

  Seeing Liu Qingshan and his party, the soldiers couldn't help but their eyes lit up: OK, there is another military song to sing!

  Shen Guodong was equally happy to see Liu Qingshan and the others, and immediately invited them to the cafeteria together.

   "Uncle Shen, I have something urgent to see you." Liu Qingshan said while looking around.

  Shen Guodong immediately understood, and led Liu Qingshan to his office, Xiao Wu and the others also followed, and he directly asked someone to lead them to the cafeteria.

  Hearing Liu Qingshan tell the truth, Shen Guodong's Chinese face was full of solemnity and excitement.

  However, he was relatively calm after all: "Qingshan, this matter is no small matter. First of all, we must confirm its authenticity. That Sergey is really a member of the opposite military?"

  Liu Qingshan nodded, and then handed the list that Sergey gave him to Shen Guodong.

  He also knows that the matter is of great importance. If he reports to the higher authorities and ends up with a big oolong, then no one will look good.

   Of course, Shen Guodong couldn't understand this thing. He pondered for a moment, then walked to the phone and started to communicate with the chief above.

  Liu Qingshan took a look, and quickly reminded: "The other party wants US dollars."

  A phone call, Xiao Wu and the others have finished their meal and haven't finished the call yet.

  Even Liu Qingshan was called to the front of the microphone and questioned for a long time, which made his forehead sweat a little.

  It was a matter of great importance to the country, and it was the first time that Liu Qingshan felt the heavy pressure.

  Of course, there is also infinite pride in my heart.

  In the middle of the night that day, a plane landed at the airport, and then a few people got off the plane and were taken directly into the military camp by military vehicles.

  Liu Qingshan fell asleep lying on the table, and was woken up by Shen Guodong to attend a temporary meeting held late at night.

  Looking at the posture of the soldiers on the opposite side, Liu Qingshan was secretly stunned: the rank is definitely not low!

  An old soldier wearing glasses, the hair exposed around the cap is more white and less black.

  After carefully reading the list, the surprise in the old soldier's eyes seemed to pass through the lens directly.

  He waved his hands excitedly: "The machine tools on this list are all what we need, all of them, all of them!"

   "Ahem, Mr. Li, the funds are limited, so we should choose the ones that are most needed and the most important."

   Chief Zhao, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed lightly twice, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

  The truth is similar to living in a family. Without money, you can’t afford good things.

  The face of Mr. Li immediately flushed red: "Do you know that with these machine tools, our weapons and equipment can be updated within a few years, do you know that!"

   At the end, he roared, and almost pointed at Chief Zhao and scolded his mother.

   It can be seen that this old man should be an expert in military industry, and people who generally engage in scientific research have such a stubborn temper.

Chief Zhao couldn't do anything about it: "Mr. Li, this time a million dollars was approved, which alarmed the higher-ups. There's nothing you can do. Now the foreign exchange is too tight, so you just have to bear with it, and live on the million dollars first. "

   "Sigh, there is no place to buy these good things if you have money. I'm afraid, after passing this village, that shop will disappear!"

  The old soldier also let out a long sigh, and his face was extremely sad.

  Liu Qingshan, who had been listening all this time, couldn't bear it any longer. Obviously, he didn't take the initiative to speak up on such an occasion, but seeing the old man's pained expression, he still comforted him:

   "Old Li, don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

  The old soldier was not used to him, so he replied directly: "Why are you so sure, my old man doesn't need you, a young man, to comfort him!"

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help but touch his nose: Is my work thankless?

  Chief Zhao couldn't stand it any longer: "Old Li, Comrade Liu is not simple. He put forward the three predictions about future development that you heard last time."

  Liu Qingshan had forgotten about the three major prophecies. Today, when the chief said it, he remembered that he said it when he was bragging with Xiao Wu and the others: the coup in Eastern Europe, the computer revolution, and the rise of China.

   Sure enough, after listening to the chief's introduction, the old soldier's face immediately changed from cloudy to clear, and his face changed faster than that of a doll.

  He nodded towards Liu Qingshan: "So you are that Liu Qingshan, a good young man with some knowledge."

  Liu Qingshan was also a little stunned: This matter has spread, and it seems that it is still spreading widely among high-level officials.

   I was in a daze, when I heard the voice of the old soldier come again: "However, I have some different opinions, and I just want to talk to you, the instigator."
